Motion Compensated Gripper Frame
Supporting our client in their development of a motion compensated gripper frame to install XXL monopiles.
At a glance
Challenge
Our Client is developing a motion compensated gripper frame to install XXL monopiles with their floating assets. We are supporting this development with project engineering, hydrodynamic analysis, geotechnical analysis, and control system design.
Actions
We have provided input on the design and the general installation procedure. Analysis has been performed using software such as Plaxis (Geotechnical), OrcaFlex, Liftdyn (Hydrodynamic) and, Matlab/Simulink/Simscape (Control).
Benefits
The motion compensated gripper frame has moved from Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 1 to TRL 5.
Solution
We delivered a technically feasible solution and control scheme to the client.
The HES Approach
Enable
We enable clients to have a clear, reliable, and data-driven understanding of the associated timeframe and costs for their offshore wind farm development.
Improve
We improve project duration, cost, and weather downtime by applying our specialist knowledge and services to develop robust and cost-effective construction strategies for our clients.
De-risk
We de-risk projects by further defining installation processes, optimizing critical operations, and providing clear insights on construction risks that could impact on duration or cost.
Innovation Support Engineering
We support clients by developing offshore products and equipment that are suited to their projects. We apply structural analysis, and by using our engineering capabilities and operational knowledge, we can ensure effectiveness in our equipment designs.
